Manufacturers and retailers ... consider Internet Coupons to be those that resemble traditional "offline" coupons, but can be printed from a user's computer and redeemed in-store. Some of these Internet Coupons employ print-controls and other security technologies in order to mitigate coupon fraud risks unique to online channels (postings to "freebie" sites, unlimited prints, etc.). E-centives (www.e-centives.com) was the first organization to provide Internet Coupons with such security features.
Coupons, Inc. works with more than 600 brands, including top consumer packaged goods, pharmaceutical, electronics, retail, entertainment, and media companies. The Coupons, Inc. Digital FSI(TM) Network is the world's largest coupon network, with thousands of consumer Web sites reaching more than 75 million shoppers.
Coupons first saw widespread use in the United States in 1909 when C. W. Post conceived the idea to help sell breakfast cereals and other products. Today, more than 700 corporations offer coupon discounts. Each year, coupons generate more than 8 billion dollars in transactions within the U.S. alone.[2]
To celebrate the new brand positioning, Bank of America will help consumers in 15 U.S. cities "wake up to opportunity" on February 26 by providing coupons good for one cup of coffee from a variety of retailers.
